Many modern polishing wheels — including platinum polishing wheels and 3M FX polishing wheels for gold and silver — perform best at lower speeds, making variable speed control essential rather than optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis lathe is equally at home on a workbench or at a stand-up polishing station. The 1\/6 hp high-torque permanent magnet motor runs exceptionally quiet and smooth, delivering ample power across its full speed range. The cast iron base features mounting holes and suction cup feet to keep the unit firmly anchored during use. Precision-machined right-hand and left-hand tapered spindles accept buffs and wheels up to 4\" in diameter. The included dust collector hoods connect to most standard dust collection systems or shop vacuums, completing a compact, self-contained polishing setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLow-speed capability opens possibilities for light lapidary work and delicate finishing tasks. Opals, cameos, and other sensitive customer keepsakes benefit greatly from the gentle touch that low RPM provides. 3M Radial Bristle discs and texturing wheels also perform exceptionally well at reduced speeds. The versatility of this variable speed motor makes it a compelling addition to virtually any professional shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/6 hp high-torque permanent magnet variable speed motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely quiet and smooth operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeed range of 500–7,000 rpm for versatile polishing and buffing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-machined right-hand and left-hand tapered spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccepts buffs and wheels up to 4\" in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast iron base with mounting holes and suction cup feet for secure workstation placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for bench use or stand-up polishing station configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with platinum polishing wheels, 3M FX polishing wheels, 3M Radial Bristle discs, and texturing wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-speed capability supports delicate work on opals, cameos, and other sensitive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes two dust collector hoods that connect to most dust collection systems or shop vacuums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMotor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/6 hp, high-torque permanent magnet variable speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeed Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500–7,000 rpm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMotor Shaft Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/16\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMotor Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-1\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth Between Spindles\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Buff \/ Wheel Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHood Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy gauge sheet metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHood Dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-1\/2\" H x 4-5\/8\" D (165mm H x 219mm D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDust Collector Hood Adapter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-1\/2\" (64mm) — fits most dust collection system hoses\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpindles Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRight-hand and left-hand tapered spindles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForedom K.BL-DCH bench polishing lathe motor unit (110V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-machined right-hand tapered spindle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-machined left-hand tapered spindle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo dust collector hoods with 2-1\/2\" (64mm) hose adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis unit is 110V — verify voltage requirements before ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust collection hoods require connection to a separate dust collector unit or shop vacuum (not included).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor light lapidary work, the Foredom foam wheel and belts (item 117.925) are sold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Foredom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43582119772374,"sku":"134.374","price":419.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9832\/0342\/files\/foredom-k-bl-dch-bench-polishing-lathe-kit-110v-otto-frei.jpg?v=1719957249","url":"https:\/\/www.ottofrei.com\/products\/foredom-k-bl-dch-bench-polishing-lathe-110v","provider":"Otto Frei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
